OPERATION   CONTRASTING VALKYRIE   
    IN THE SIXTIES.  THE  CENTRAL     
  INTELLIGENCE  AGENCY "CIA" RELEASE  
   AEROSOLIZED  SELATENINE  OVER  A   
  JUPITER EQUINOX CONCERT,  CREATING  
  THE LARGEST SECRET PARADIGM  SHIFT  
   THAT THE WORLD  HAS EVER  SEEN.  
  
                                          
 THE JUPITER EQUINOX*  CONCERT IS PART OF 
 A FESTIVAL  IN BLACK TICKLE  ARRANGED BY 
 A  GROUP CALLED EPICENTER OF LOVE. THERE 
 IS   NO   ENTRANCE   BUT   VISITORS  ARE 
 EXPECTED TO HELP  WITH MAINTENANCE. FOOD 
 AND  DRINK  IS  SHARED.  MANY BANDS  ARE 
 PLAYING OVER THE FOUR  DAY COURSE OF THE 
 FESTIVAL, AND THE STAGE  IS OPEN BETWEEN 
 SCHEDULED   CONCERTS.   JUPITER EQUINOX, 
 WHILE AN  UNKNOWN ACT, HAS A PRESTIGIOUS 
 TIMESLOT AT EIGHT  IN THE EVENING ON THE 
 THIRD  DAY,  WHICH  IS  FRIDAY.       
                                          
 EIGHT  IS ALSO  WHEN THE  PLANE  USED TO 
 SPREAD  THE   AEROSOL   LIFTS   OFF.  IT 
 ARRIVES AT THE FESTIVAL ABOUT  A QUARTER 
 PAST,  SOUND  MASKED  BY   THE  CONCERT. 
 AROUND   WHEN    THE   FIRST   WAVE   OF 
 SELATENINE   MUST   HAVE   REACHED   THE 
 AUDIENCE, THE SONG COMES TO A  TENSE BUT 
 QUIET  MOVEMENT,  AND  THE  LEAD  SINGER 
 WALKS   TO   THE  FRONT  OF  THE  STAGE. 
                                          
 SHE SAYS, WITH  A CRYSTALLINE  VOICE: "I 
 HAVE SOMETHING  TO TELL YOU.  I AM NOT A 
 HUMAN BEING.  I AM NOT  AN  ANIMAL OR  A 
 PLANT. I HAVE BEEN  SENT  TO  DELIVER  A 
 MESSAGE TO YOU. A  MESSAGE OF HOPE.  YOU 
 ARE  NOT ALONE.  THERE ARE  OTHER BEINGS 
 IN  THE  UNIVERSE.  THERE  IS  LIFE  OUT 
 THERE,  LIFE  THAT  IS  REACHING  OUT  A 
 HAND. AND IT'S TIME  TO TAKE THAT  HAND. 
 TO  REACH OUT TOWARD THAT HAND  AND GRAB 
 IT IT. IT IS TIME TO COME HOME.  YOU ARE 
 GOING   HOME.  YOU  ARE   GOING   HOME." 
                                          
 THE  SINGER  STANDS  THERE   FOR  A  FEW 
 MOMENTS,  HER HAND RAISED  IN  THE  AIR, 
 BEFORE  THE  REST  OF THE  BAND KICKS IN 
 AND THE MUSIC  BUILDS  TO  A  CRESCENDO. 
 THE  CROWD  ERUPTS.  AND THEN  SOMETHING 
 ELSE  ERUPTS  AS  WELL.  A  CONCERT-GOER 
 DESCRIBES   IT:  "SUDDENLY,   THE  MUSIC 
 SEAMS  BROADER,  MORE  COLORFUL.  I  CAN 
 SOMEHOW SEE IT, AND  I  FEEL  THE OTHERS 
 SEEING IT,  AND  I  SEE IT THROUGH THEIR 
 EYES AS  WELL.  MEANWHILE  I'M  DANCING, 
 AND  I CAN  FEEL MY  BODY  AS I'VE NEVER 
 DONE  BEFORE, I  AM AWARE  OF EACH  CELL 
 AND  EACH  MOLECULE,  ALL  VIBRATING  IN 
 UNISON.  AND   IT'S  ALL  GOING  FASTER, 
 BUILDING UP TO  SOMETHING,  WAKING  UP." 
                                          
 PEOPLE  START FORMING  CIRCLES,  HOLDING 
 HANDS  AND  DANCING.  SOME  ARE  CRYING. 
 SOME ARE LAUGHING.  SOME  ARE SCREAMING. 
                                          
 AND THEN -  A FLUTTER  -  AND  SOMETHING 
 GIVES.    A   SHOCKWAVE   OF   REVERSING 
 POLARITY   IN  THE   ETHER,   AND   LIKE 
 BUTTERFLIES GETTING  HIT BY A  BURST  OF 
 WIND,  THE THIRD EYE  OPENS FOR EVERYONE 
 IN THE  AUDIENCE. AND IT BECOMES A CHAIN 
 REACTION, QUICKLY SPREADING  ACROSS  THE 
 FESTIVAL  AREA.  WITHIN SECONDS THERE IS 
 A   GLOBAL  BLACKOUT.   FESTIVAL   GOERS 
 REGAIN  THEIR  MEMORIES  AROUND  A  WEEK 
 LATER,  THOSE  IN  THE  NEARBY  TOWN  OF 
 BLACK TICKLE   AFTER  A   FEW  DAYS,  IN 
 MONTREAL  FOR  THE EVENING,  THE REST OF 
 AMERICA  MAYBE  AN  HOUR.           
                                          
 AND  THUS,   THE  POPULATION   OF  EARTH 
 HAS  KIND  OF  LEFT  IT'S  MATERIALISTIC 
 BASELINE,  ONLY   THAT   MOST   DO   NOT 
 REMEMBER                             IT. 
                                          
                                          
  
  * THERE'S AN INTERESTING ASPECT TO  
   THE  "JUPITER EQUINOX"  ACT.  IT   
   SEEMS  THERE   WAS   NEVER  ANY    
  JUPITER EQUINOX CONCERTS BEFORE OR  
  AFTER THE ONE IN BLACK TICKLE. THE  
   LEAD  SINGER  (ALSO COLLOQUIALLY   
  REFERRED TO AS JUPITER) SEEMED TO   
  IMMEDIATELY DISAPPEAR (FOR A LONG   
  WHILE SHE WAS THOUGHT TO HAVE BEEN  
   A  CIA AGENT,  BUT  A LATER FOIA   
  RELEASE REFUTED THIS). FOR OBVIOUS  
  REASONS, MANY WERE LOOKING FOR ANY  
   TRACE  OF  THE  BAND,  BUT  NONE   
   WERE FRUITFUL.                     
                                      
  RECENTLY,  HOWEVER, SOME ATTENTION  
  HAS BEEN DRAWN TO JUNIPER HELDING,  
  A SIXTEEN YEAR OLD POP SINGER FROM  
  ENGLAND WHO HAS  A  VERY  STRIKING  
   SIMILARITY...
